Feb. 18, 2015: The Concordia College nursing program's Class of 2013 has achieved a first-time pass rate of 88% on the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN).
Concordia's performance has earned placement in the top ten baccalaureate nursing programs in New York State and second regionally. The 88% first-time pass rate surpasses both New York State (77%) and national (82%) averages.
"I am so proud of our students and faculty," said Dr. Kathleen Flaherty, dean of nursing at Concordia College. "This result is a testament to their hard work and dedication. The nursing program at Concordia is pleased to contribute to the college's rising academic reputation."
Concordia College offers three nursing programs: a traditional undergraduate bachelor of science program, a 15-month, accelerated post-baccalaureate program for those who hold a bachelor's degree in another academic discipline but seek a nursing career, and an RN to BS degree completion program for registered nurses seeking a bachelor's degree. For more information, please contact the office of admission at 914-337-9300, ext. 2155.

Bronxville Public Library
The Bronxville Public Library traces its origins back to 1875, when it was a small lending library housed in a room attached to the “Bronxville Model School.” The Library was officially chartered in 1906 and moved into the Village Hall Building. The needs of the library grew with the town and, in 1942, a new standalone building was erected, which is where the Library is today. Over the years, the Library was renovated and expanded to meet the needs of the community.
The Library has wonderful resources for adults and children and offers a comfortable and relaxing environment. The Library also houses a fine art collection, consisting principally of Bronxville painters and sculptors.
The Library offers special events, art exhibitions, and programs for adults, young adults and children. All events are open to the public, unless otherwise indicated.
